International Hope School Bangladesh
educational institution of Bangladesh
International Hope School Bangladesh (IHSB) is an English medium, private international school in Uttara, Dhaka, Bangladesh. It was previously called International Turkish Hope School.
History and campus
Founder Principal Kazim Eldes established ITHS in Dhaka in 1996. The President of Turkey, Süleyman Demirel, a strong supporter of Turkish schools, officially inaugurated the school while on a state visit in March 1997.
The school started as one campus in rented premises serving a small number of very young students. It has since grown to eight campuses in three cities: two preschools, two junior sections (grades 1–5), and two senior sections (one boys, one girls) in the Gulshan and Uttara areas of Dhaka, a branch in Chittagong that spans from preschool through grade 12, and a preschool and junior section in Bogra. Combined enrollment has risen to over 6000 as of 2025.
ITHS began construction of a purpose-built campus on two acres of land granted by the Bangladesh government, located in Uttara Sector 4, in June 2002. Construction was finished in September 2005. Facilities include an extensive playground, football field, basketball court, conference hall, library, and computer and science lab.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “International Hope School Bangladesh” is educational institution of Bangladesh. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through International, Hope and School, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “educational institution of Bangladesh” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q17056761. Authority coordinates are 23.865, 90.394. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1996, 1997, 2025 and 2002.
Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
